Description
|
The goal of the TATTO program is to ensure that each student's education as a scholar is balanced with thorough preparation in the art of teaching. Completing TATTO is a degree requirement.
There are four required stages of the TATTO program. The first stage is a three day course consisting of workshops on syllabus writing, grading, lecturing, leading discussions, writing as a pedagogical tool, lab session conduct, and new technologies.
In the second stage, departments provide discipline-specific training that addresses intellectual problems and teaching strategies from the perspective of the discipline. The teaching assistantship, the third stage of the TATTO program, is an initial teaching opportunity. The teaching associateship is the fourth stage of the TATTO program; the student and a faculty member co-teach a course. Throughout, the student receives mentoring and evaluation.
Advanced students who demonstrate exceptional teaching ability are eligible to apply for appointment as Dean's Teaching Fellows. Dean’s Teaching Fellows have complete responsibility for one course in one semester of the award year.
TATTO credits document fulfillment of the degree requirement, which all doctoral students are required to complete whether or not they receive a Graduate School merit award.
